The press conference

[Loudstrat]

At least they didn't rort the cap for Finch (silent laugh at the Roosters )

 

[Timmah]

From my understand Jayco, Unity and McManus all may have funded the breaches but there's no evidence suggesting they're complicit.

Waldron, Vale, Hanson and two others I can't remember were named as the five "rats" that orchestrated it all.

 

[hineyrulz]

The ATO are now interested, i wonder if the players will cooperate with them????

 

[morri (cWo)]

Who's the pom that is asking questions?

 

[Timmah]

Loved the lights going out halfway through :lol:

 

[Eelementary]

Does anyone know when the NRL is likely to respond with their take on the situation? Right at the conclusion of News' press conference? Tomorrow?

By the way, John - given what you've done, 'dying a thousand deaths' wouldn't be an inappropriate punishment tbh.

Jayco was cleared

 

[Brutus]

She swallowed the evidence

:lol:

 

[Timmah]

Interestingly though Mick, Jayco director Jerry Ryan never complied with the investigation - he is also one of the four sacked independent Storm directors.

 

[Patorick]

"rats in the ranks" count: 22

it's hartigan catchphrase ffs.

 

[morri (cWo)]

Got to feel bad for Hartigan right now IMO. A couple of rats threw the toys out of the cot and he's there cleaning it up.

 

[GongPanther]

1/ Hartigan (NEWS LTD) had no knowledge about this from the start. Bulls!t.

2 / The investigation cannot reveal how much each player was getting. Bulls!t.There has to be clear and proper transparency for this investigation to have any merit.

3/ The report adds that the players themselves had no knowledge of the over-payments.Yet again... Bulls!t.

4/ Hartigan is a man in denial. NOT bullsh!t!!

Everyone feel free to add.

But Waldron acted alone! :roll:

Bellamy, Vail, and one player manager co-operated. The rest didn't.

The independent members were punted because they are failing their duties to the club - Hartigan believes the urgency is for the roster for 2011 be sprted out - instead these twats are in court whinging at the penalty.

No you've summed it up perfectly.

You wait until the ATO goes through them. A process longer and more painful than the Spanish Inquisition.

As for the Storm looking for a new CEO - The market:

8:1 - Denis Fitzgerald
12:1 - Tony Zappia
17:1 - Bob Hagan
22:1 - Laurie Connell

Phil Gould will have a field day with this tonight on the footy show without a doubt

 

[_Johnsy]

Hartigan saw fit to sack members of the current board as they did not assist the forensic auditors one iota with the investigation.

This then begs the question, why wasn't the same action taken to the entire playing group who also refused to assist investigators, given that the players association were more than happy with the confidentiality clauses deloittes had in place for the investigation ?

Absolute scum of a cub.

 

[Dr Crane]

no mention in the whole thread of news reaffirming their support for the franchise?
